Silicosis if you're exposed to a lot of it.

I'm currently fighting bed bugs and am using diatomaceous earth spray to make my bedroom toxic to the bugs. It seems to be working but I'm worried about the effects of the spray on me.

What I would do if I had bugs again 1. clean and remove everything from the bedroom, find a bed frame that is easy to clean 2. get a special cover for the mattress 3. vacuum the room and clean the sheets at high temperature as often as possible

We're also freezing our pillows and woolens that can't be hot washed.

It's not too dangerous, but it can irritate you, particularly if you accidentally inhale it.

There is food-grade diatomaceous earth (an anti-caking agent) which is completely safe for humans. But the whole idea of it is it's very jagged little dead sea creatures that tear insects to shreds, so breathing it is not advised.

It will also shred your vacuum cleaner if you're not careful.
